To Be Rid of the Cranks.

A vote will be.taken the coming fall ON
the question of division of the territory
on the 46th parallel, and there seems to
be growing sentiment in favor of di-
vision, if for no other reason than to rid
the north of the cranky Hugh j. Camp
bell and his staff of associates. The
north half is wealthy enough to MAIN
tain its own government if admitted,
and if not admitted in the next century
it is we'll rid of its southern neighbors.

THE new colony that came out from
New England this season, OF rather the
nucleus of large community, and
pushed out far beyond the lines of civ
ilization to the unbroken wilds of Het-
Hnger county, have already established
a newspaper at New England City, the
Rainy Buttes Sentinel, that compares
favorably with the newspapers of the
territory, and is able to afford a two-col-
umn salutatory defining its position in
politics, temperance, religion and all
the other great issues seen from the
shack and dugout of the pioneer settler.
There is suggestion.of their Pilgrim an
cestors in the statement that the people
all suspend labor on Sunday and gather
in the printing office to sing hymns. and
indulge in religious worship. A church
and Sunday school were at once organ
lied. A communityis being established
there that will be beard from in the fu-
ture. Good reports of the land are sent
back to New England, and it is believed
very large migration will follow.

ONE OF the North Dahoa papers as
signs as its reason for favoring division
that it would rid the North of the
cranky HUGH J: CAMPBELL and his
staff of political associates" Not much
weight would ordinarily be attached to
such an expression, but in the indiffer-
ence that prevails on the subject in that
section, the votes of many drawn to the
polls by the option question will actually
be controlled by as trivial matter as
this. In fact, on both sides of the 10th
parallel, among the strongest reasons
assigned for division is the lack of har-
mony be ween the men most prominent
in affairs Of the North and South. 1t is
not alleged that there is necessary con-
flict of sectional interests OF politics, but

its freedom from diseases is noticeable
in the fact that the drug business is
greatly less in proportion to population
than in the states. In the towns, ex-
cept where SALOONS are not licensed,
there are not half the drug stores usu-
ally found in Illinois and Indiana. The
physicians are. also much less numer-
Gus, and very remarkable proportion
of their business is due to the generous
contributions of the patriotic married
people to the population. The under

executive committee soon discovered
this, and whenever their president APP

around with him to answer questions
addressed to him and preserve the rep

that an agreement was finally reached
between President Grady and the COM

Japan's Big statue.

OF the two great bronze statues in
Japan the largest is near the ancient
City of Nara, near the beautiful Lake
Biwa, a port of Japan that compara-
lively few travellers visit. 1t is inside
of temple 1856 feet high, 290 feet
long, and 10 feet wide, and was cast
in the year TAG. after eight unsuccess-
full attempts. The figure is that of
Buddha, and is seated cross-legged, as
he is always shown, so that were the
figure standing il would be very near
ly twice as high. Seated in this posi-
ton, with the right hand uplifted, the
palm outward, and the finger tips on
line with the shoulders, this quaint
bronze is fifty-three feet in hight above
its rather low and unimportant pedes-
tai. The figure has seen many acci-
dents, such as fires and earthquakes,
and has lost its head on two occasions
from the former cause, the present one
being very ugly on account of the dark
color of the bronze, the broad nostrils,
and the swollen look that the designer
has given the cheeks. 1t is supposed
to be Buddha in attitude of deep con-
temptation, a very favorite one for
showing him in. The plates of bronze
are from six to ten inches thick, and
after being soldered together have been
ehiseled smooth. The face is sixteen
feet long, nine and half feet wide,
and the width of the shoulders istwen-
ty-nine feet There are 966 curls on
the head, and behind ii is huge wood
EN- halo heavily gildcd and nearly
eighty feet in diameter. This image
weighs 450 tons, and the records show
that 800 pounds of gold and nearly
1000 pounds Of mercurys were used
with the tin and copper which make
the bronze of which it is I,constructed.
Second in Importance, SO far as size
goes, but really much better known
figure, and in most ways more import
ant than that at Nara, is the great
Buddah at Kamakura, about fifteen
miles from Yokohama. 1t is seated in
the open air near small and prettily-
situated temple, and its huge head can
be seen for some time through the
tree-tops as one approaches. The atti-
tude is more graceful and comfortable
than that of the figure at Nara, and
the face wears very gentle and placid
expression, the idea of deep thought
being remarkably well attained. This
figure is forty-nine feet seven inches
high, has circumference of over
niAety-seven feet at the base, the face
is eight feet five inches long, the nose
three feet nine inches, and each thumb
is three feet around. In the center Of
the forehead is bump of wisdom ten
inches high. The eyes are of pure
gold, and it is said that the records
show that 1,500 pounds of that precious
metal were contributed to the smelling
pots while it was being cast. At pres
ent beautiful temple, to cost about
$4,000, is being built over the figure.
There is also bronze Buddha in one
of the parks at Toxic, the Japanese
Capital, which is twenty-one feet six
inches in hight-PhitadeiphtG Times.

An Angelic Deoeiver.

Gen. 7. X. r. Cobb was a devout as
well as brave man. He believed in
the efficacy of prayer. Col. Tom
Hardeman tells story concerning
Gen. Cobb in the opening days of the
war.
Gen. Cobb had related that he had
prayed very earnestly before retiring,
and after he went to bed he had sort
of vision in which an angel came down
and told him that there would be 70
war. The story made great impress
sion on the boys, and when the con-
vention met at Montgomery, Ala. it
had not been forgotten.
During the discussion one fiery actor
got up and told how the dogs of war
had been turned loose. and the heel of
the invader was ON J5fir shores. etc.
Turning to Ggh. Cobb, one big
mouthed fellow bawled out: "Say,

the service grow up to what it was, and he re-

Eats Egough for Twelve Men.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
MARTINsvILLE, Ind, Feb. 4.-Henry Flow
ers, fourteen-y earold boy of Jefferson town
ship, this county, is one of the most peculiar
specimens of humanity that has ever come to
light in this section. He came to town. last
Saturday, as is his usual custom, and was taken
to the Mason House, Of this city. by two promi-
nent citizens, who bargained with the landlord.
Mr.. Toner, to furnish the boy square meal for
55 cents they wishing to satisfy their curiosity
as to his abilities as eater. They did not have
long wait until their fondest hopes of getting
the joke upon the landlord were realized.
He ate six pieces of light bread, two pieces of
corn bread, two large slices of beef, roasted,
with gravy, two large slices of roasted pork, four
large potatoes. one dish of beans, one dish. of
slaw two dishes of honinv, one dish of parsnips
TWO pieces of pie. After eating his pie he called
for bowl of oysters and was informed that
they were not on the bill Of fare for that day
He then went to DR.. Blackstones to eat again,
and his meal there consisted OF seven potatoes
three slices of bread six by eight inches, two
slices of roast beef. two cups of coffee, one dish
of tomatoes, one dish Of bntter-beans and two
pieces of pie. As is usual with him. his hunger
was not yet satisfied. He went from DR.. Black
stones to one of the city bakeries there pur-
chased 10 cents worth of cheese and crackers,
and ate them, and at last accounts he was in his
usual condition.
The boy is very lean, and of less than the av-
erage height for his age, being only about three
feet high and weighing but forty pounds His
skin is thick and yellow his cheeks hollow and
sunken, and his eyes give An unmstakable proof
of his constant hunger, which he evinces on all
occasions. Seldom, if ever, does one encounter
such an appetite, and it is wonder where he
slows away much victuals. No physician
here can satisfactorily diagnose his case
